Brief Biography
I am Dr. S.M.Hadi Sadati, the Director of the ACEi Group (Artificial, Embodied, and Collective Intelligence) within the Centre for Advanced Robotics (ARQ). At ACEi, we focus on developing autonomous and intelligent systems through computational frameworks, smart embodiment design, and collective behavioral emergence. Bioinspired design concepts are central to the research conducted at ACEi where we prioritize real-world, end-user-driven research with a fast route to impact as the ultimate goal.
I earned my PhD in Soft Robotics from King's College London (KCL) in 2018, following an MSc in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology (2012) and a BSc from Amirkabir University of Technology (2010), Iran. Dr. Sadati has held research fellowships in Continuum Medical Robotics at KCL (2019â??2024) and in Morphological Computation at the University of Bristol (2017â??2019). I have also been a visiting researcher at several leading labs, including LASA & CREAT (EPFL, 2019 & 2021), SRL (ETH Zurich, 2021), Prof. Walker's Lab (Clemson University, 2017), and Morph Lab (Imperial College London, 2016â??2017).
I am recognized in the Soft Robotics community for my work on Reduced-Order Modelling (ROM) of continuum robots through shape interpolation and for implementing these models in the open-source software TMTDyn. My research, published in prestigious journals such as IJRR, SoRo, and IEEE T-RO, is the result of collaborations with an extensive network of international scientists and research labs. I have managed and played a key role in several significant grants, and received recognition for my contributions to the ART (Autonomous Robotic Thrombectomy in acute stroke) project, which has been showcased at major events. Additionally, I have fostered a dynamic community around Reduced-Order Modeling and software development for Soft Robotics Research by organizing various workshops and lecturing at various institutions.
My expertise in theoretical studies and smart embodiment design for soft robots has laid the foundation for our research on autonomous and intelligent soft robots at ACEi, with applications ranging from medical intervention to industrial inspection.
Research experience and interests: Soft Robotics, Medical Robotics, Bioinspiration, Embodied Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, Dynamics, Control, Automation, and Mechatronics.
